Foolish lighting mistake

I recently had some electricity issues from the extra wattage draw of my new setup. I wound up splitting my wattages up onto 2 different breakers so that I would no longer have this issue.

In the mean time, my foolish noob self forgot that both my lights inside my 4x8 were no longer on the same timer. Last week I switched the tent to 12/12 just before going away for a bit. I've just now realized that 1 light was still set to 18/6.

What repercussions might I face from this? Did I create the perfect whirlwind for herms?
Thanks in advance.

Just means you never put them into flower if im reading correctly. Did the plants have lights out at all? If they were flowering then you might get reveg but don't sound like they ever got the chance

1 side was on 12/12. 1 on 18/6. So in theory they just werent flowering? That would be a best case scenario. They sure stretched like they were flowering.

It's only been a week. I don't generally consider them in true flower until I see the explosion of pistils, whch has yet to happen.

If you had consistent light going on in the tent for a week, should be no big deal unless you had a true 12 hours of lights off for a week.. even if one light was on and the other was off. Assuming they are in the same tent.

Yes, same tent with no divider. The side below the light that was off for 12 hours did significantly grow/stretch. Man, 2 more weeks of stretch and I might need to attach the lights to the ceiling. Lol. Appreciate it!

Id say flip your other timer to 12/12 and roll on. You're ready to flip right?

I was already passed ready a week ago. Lol. I fixed my timers and the first true night of 12 hours dark will begin today. Now I'm likely going to just have to just put the lights a bit higher and supercrop.

This is my first time with a new strain and I was not prepared for how fast it grew. Should be a beauty in the end.

There ya go!.. Just be cautious and watch for herms the next 3 weeks if you're going to supercrop... you should have done all your training by now, as super cropping after you flip is going to put more stress on them, and more likely to herm... just my 2 cents, but i'd tie them down (LST) over super cropping... it's very stressful after you flip.

They were trained fairly well. 4 plants fill up essentially a 4x4 so theres not much more room to LST further but I will try that. The other 1/2 of the tent has the only strain I've ever ran and there's no issue with height with them. Learning curve with a new strain. Also hadn't intended to take them this far, now over 9 weeks, in veg.

My last several runs have been 1-2 plant scrogs in a 4x4. The new setup, more powerful lights, more plants...Still learning for sure. Definitely prefer the scrog method and will have to build another for the new tent for the future. Appreciate your help and advice!

Good luck to you brother!
